I set puppy pads out all over an showed her where they were and I also take her outside everytime she wakes up but she still goes in the house on the floor. Any ideas on getting her fully potty trained?

Is your goal outside potty training or potty pad only ? Unfortunately it is not as simple as "showing her where they are " .. If you want potty pad training only then I suggest you start by confining her to a smaller area when you cannot watch her every minute . An ex pen works well for this . Set it up with a her bed , toys , water dish on one side and a couple potty pads on the other . You can set her on the pad and say go potty so she knows what it is for . If you happen to see her use the pad praise her and give a treat . Also keep a pad just outside the ex pen for when she is out and about . I am not suggesting that she live in the pen it is just for when you are not there to watch her . If your goal is outside potty only then that is something altogether different . You have to take her out first thing in the morning , at least every hour , after waking from naps , after eating or drinking , . You will pick up on her queues that she has to go and when you see that immediately take her outside and tell her go potty , when she does praise her and give a treat . It is not something that will happen overnight but she will get it . If I missed something I am sure there will other suggestions to help you ..
